What a special spot – I hated to leave it behind! The “cabin” on Swan Lake is indeed rustic, but it’s also spacious and entirely comfortable. The electricity and plumbing (warm shower? check!) felt like luxuries, as we’d been traveling and camping for a few weeks prior to our arrival.

The lakefront location proved so relaxing that we drifted off to sleep on the dock for a quick afternoon nap, which my guy continued on the couch inside once a thunderstorm began to blow through. It was pretty remarkable to watch the lake disappear altogether beneath the weather, only to reappear an hour later under calm, still skies.

One thing worth noting: There are neighbors close by. Although the listing says that dogs are allowed off-leash, your pup will need to be better behaved than ours to take advantage of that! On our arrival, Enzo promptly went visiting the Italian greyhound next door, whose human was thankfully very tolerant of the furry intruder.

That aside, the Trapper Cabin would be the perfect location for a weeklong escape with the family, or with a group of friends. Highly recommend!
